Apothetic knowledge is the mystical way of knowing.  It is in not knowing, that all can be known. It is by naming and defining that we fool ourselves that we know and then keep staring at these imperfect definitions as if they be the Truth.  It is not in cognitive knowing that we meet the Tao, it is in the void, where the mind is empty, where we can hear the Tao speak within us of the mysteries of God.  This concept is well dealt with by the Gita and most mystic theologians.
